A neck tie is the most important piece of clothing accessory in a man’s wardrobe. Your neck tie speaks loud about your personality and complements your dressing style as well. It is mainly worn with formal clothing, like sleeved shirts and trousers.
If not purchased properly, it’ll just be a rope trap around your neck. Listed below are some useful tips for buying tie:
- Carry along your suit, shirt or jacket while going to buy a tie. Just try the tie to see whether its color, pattern or texture goes well with your clothes or not.
- Closely examine the quality of a tie, concentrating particularly on the first 20-30 cm of its wider end. Make sure that it does not have any lose threads.
- Ensure that the width of the narrower part of a tie is less that that of your shirt’s collar. In other words, the tie must not be visible from the back side of the shirt’s collar.
- The entire length of the tie must neither be very long nor too short. If you have a tall stature, you need to buy a long tie. But, make sure that wide tip of the tie should not go beyond your belt.
- Always go for a tie that is cut on the bias. In simple words, it is cut across the threads of the cloth, diagonally. To examine if a tie is cut on the bias or not, just hold it from its narrow end, in the air. If the tie hangs down straight, it is cut on the bias. You must not buy it if it turns around in the air.
- Last but not the least, the material of the tie must be strong and on the other hand, coarse enough so as to make and hold a sleek and strong knot.
So, just go on and utilize the above tips to buy a perfect necktie and make a long-lasting impression of your persona on the people around you.
